about the word writer person:

Prewitt Scott-Jackson writes Dad poetry & short fiction when he's not hyping and typing for Fort Worth Noise. His writing can be found in Ghost City Press (New York), Five 2 One Magazine (Los Angeles), Prairie Schooner (University of Nebraska Press) and Sick Lit Magazine (Texas), among others. He prefers short walks on the beach because – and I quote – “It’s really hard to walk on sand.”

Show Poster of the Week - Sudie, War Party, The Cush at Barcadia

Once a week FWN features a show poster from the Fort.

---

This week we are delighted to feature Cody Soape's dreamcicle of a poster for a show taking place Monday Dec. 19th at Barcadia (Fort Worth location, duh!). The astral lineup of Sudie, War Party, and The Cush make this gig poster extra sidereal. 

The ice cream cone-shaped design cross-pollinates divinely with the stratified imagery of planet Earth's delicious layers. My eyes wish to devour their way down to the seaweed flavored bottom, but alas, my ravenous craving is counter-balanced by my desire to slowly take in every inch of strata as I move down its celestial ladder slide.

The Frank Stella/Peter Max-ish color palette drive it home for me. The colors man, the colors. My word. Artists like Cody Soape make our job easy.

Side bonus: below are some music viddyoze from the night's lineup - see you fellow Fort Worthians Monday.
